Google Nest Away From Home Mode
Google has launched a new feature for Nest thermostats called Away From Home Mode. This tool helps users save energy automatically when they leave their house. It uses the thermostat’s sensors and the homeowner’s phone location to detect departures. Then it adjusts the temperature to an energy-saving level. When residents return, it switches back to their preferred settings.

Users need the Google Home app on their phone to activate this mode. The app requires location permissions. Setup is simple and takes only minutes. Multiple household members can connect their phones. The system checks if anyone is home based on all linked devices. If every person leaves, away mode engages. If one person comes back, normal operation resumes.
The main benefit is reduced energy use. Lowering heating or cooling in empty homes cuts power consumption. This saves money on utility bills. It also lessens environmental impact. Google Nest devices already learn routines over time. This update adds smarter automation for unoccupied periods.
